Dirkoff, those protectors are kevlar and were hand made by a member that use to be on this board. He went by "Bigtwin". No one has heard from him in a while it seems. He made tank guards for many here and even did some other hand laid guards and windshields as I recall. From what I understand they are much thicker and seem to be tougher than the carbon fiber offerings. I can tell you they work well.

I've said it before and all say it again; I sure love the 950 with a full set of nobbs (#1 desert). Throw in the origianal high suspention, and you have the best 950 ever made (My GO!!!!!!!!!! bike included ).

Where's that then - I'm (probably) down that way (Italy / French Alps) next year, and that'd be one to tick off the list!

I'm looking at doing the www.centopassi.com route - not part of their event, but just hi jacking all their planning work

Mark, its the Col de Somellier near Bardonechia in Italy. Its the site of the Stella Alpina rally. Its a dead end trail but dead easy to do, nothing difficult but very scenic. Well worth the ride up. Gets very busy at weekends so midweek is better.
